Medicine 02:38
Flickering feeling You are the door still swinging - the phone still ringing I’m burning all the boats In the quiet, in the long drives summoned under breath; the ghost of every love I drag along till death In truth, I only think of it as something I once fought. Like the ticking of the clock, only heard when all else stops Rest in the reeling Peace in the fleeing and desperate repeating. What’s left for us but motion The other side of midnight Waiting for release I sing myself to sleep with the sirens from the street Whatever makes your skin fit, operating at a loss The state lines are a medicine, wear the miles like a cross

Komorebi 03:43
Blistered feet carry around the weight of the unrest And nothing is quite where we left it Oh we’re just sun cured waiting for rain Replace me with the salt from the sea Bitter like grinding sand between your teeth All we left ashore has blown away with the breeze The sun shines through your leaves, Komorebi Fever dreams induce thoughts of impulsive action Paralyzed, drunken sunlight and losing traction Let me be, let me wash away with the morning Struggling to keep you at arms length. I feel the current pull you away

Everything was set in stone The wicked earth matches the moaning of the chorus drone, the repetition resonates the bones Of the aching elders as wicked as the world they shelter away from things unclean Unsightly we deem obscene Unsightly best left unseen Make amends And live toward and end Oh the testament to shake Grow towards the sun, offset the ache Darken my door with duller days And hold that pose, postured do break Why should we hold our tongues Why do we sing until we’re numb What if we’re already the decent people we wanted to become The things we say we wish would stay All bound in books and put away To dig back up in later lives and curse the way the days fly by No easy answer in the sky No desperate days reduced to lines

Landor 04:47
Escaping through the Bernheim as time moves backwards The trees shed their dead leaves; they're full of color Replacing memories with fragments of a world that's changing I see that big house with chipped white paint and stained window panes Bowman Field in sight, the constant sound of planes You're sending me to sleep as you lie awake in pain There's nothing I could do to rid you of these stains I get lost in the sound of seasons change The wind takes me to a different place

Settle In 03:43
Is it the thousand yard stare or the water that isn’t there A mirage, a pipe dream Needle back to meet the seams These white and yellow lines keep me warm and tell me lies The underpass that blocks the rain The dot and dash that keeps me sane We pine for something more Is it a risk without reward No matter where I rest my head, my bags are packed beneath the bed No matter where I settle in, my heart remains where I’ve been Lower 48 send me off and I will shake and sing for all the tilted heads, beat for the things that I have read Dirt meets spit and I am face first in it - wait for day to end and drink until we’re blind again Flickering feeling you are the door still swinging, feet on the ceiling I’m burning all the boats
